Went 4 from 7 for the day, which returned a paltry £4 and change. Started off well when the overs came in in the Man Utd game. I then went onto lose three in a row, on the Sheffield Utd game (went for City, stupid balloons!!), the Bilbao game (unsurprisingly went for Barcelona) and then laid Tunisia when they went 1-0 up against South Africa. At this point I thought my £100 wouldn't last too long (well, £125, as I had the £25 bonus from Party Bets), and I could be in for a very short ride on this little side story.
Then got things back into the black when I backed Real Madrid, Michigan + 16.5 in College BB (wonderfully lost by 15 points with a four point swing in my favour coming in the last 4 seconds!!!) and finally Sporting Lisbon. Sporting were a touch under 2/1 so was quite chuffed with that one.
NASN (Sky Channel 417) is now showing a lot of live US sport, and, in particular, a lot of college BB, which I love. I'm no expert, but I have followed the sport since I spent a year in the States 10 years ago. The atmosphere these clashes bring is superb, with the students ensuring that most games are a sell out. I tend to just back the team that is given the points, not a great long term solution, but one that usually means I have an interest most of the game.
